Can Quen Blackwell really tell the difference between a $1 hot sauce and a $17 one? In this episode of "Expensive Taste Test," Quen puts her taste (and confidence) to the test as she tries to spot which items are the real deal and which are the budget dupes. Quen herself will admit she has expensive taste, so this was a welcome test of some of her favorite items from gold grillz to rotisserie chicken (trust us when we say that she knows her roasts.) Watch to see if Quen’s luxury instincts hold up and find out which item totally shocked her.  #QuenBlackwell #ExpensiveTasteTest #Cosmopolitan

00:00I would look at these and be like,

00:01oh, I see budget was low on set today.

00:05Hi, I'm Quinlan Blackwell, and I'm

00:07playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.

00:11I have very expensive taste.

00:13I'm kind of ashamed of it sometimes,

00:15because my friends are like, girl, get a grip.

00:17I think I'm going to do incredible,

00:19because I am the connoisseur of connoisseurs.

00:22Here we go.

00:23Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, da, ba, da, da, da, da, da.

00:28Here we have hot sauce.

00:30I got hot sauce in my bag, literally.

00:32I have hot sauce in my bag, actually, the Aardmark one.

00:34Let me use my senses to really break this down.

00:40Vinegar.

00:42Color is giving Red 40 Ultra.

00:45And then we've got this darker.

00:48I feel like that's a bit more rich.

00:50Oh, oh girl, I know this one.

00:54This is like Cholula vibes, okay.

00:57So let me try the one that I know is.

01:00This is Elote hot sauce, like this is cheap.

01:03I'm good.

01:10Hot sauce is hot.

01:12Now let's try the expensive one.

01:16And sometimes expensive stuff I feel like is OD'd

01:19because why'd y'all have to add a sweetness?

01:21This is the more expensive hot sauce.

01:29I'm a genius.

01:37These are Dutch ovens.

01:38I've cooked a plenty in my time.

01:41Let me feel, ooh!

01:44Y'all feel how heavy that was?

01:45Y'all see how heavy that one was?

01:47Look, watch my arm, watch my muscle.

01:48Ooh, you see how it engaged?

01:50This is Pilates.

01:51This one, oh, hold on.

01:56Uh-uh, this is, ooh, somebody need to get sued.

01:59They cop in.

02:04I feel like this pink took a bit more time to do

02:07because it has an ombre effect.

02:09This pink, they just dipped this and said,

02:13let's get on with our day.

02:19Yeah, well, one is significantly different in quart size.

02:26This one's more expensive.

02:34This is a setup.

02:35I hate that I didn't get these.

02:38I feel like a loser.

02:47Bag charms.

02:48Oh, Stitch bag charms.

02:50My favorite cartoon ever was Lulul and Stitch.

02:53I had a pit bull named Stitch.

02:54I had a French bull named Stitch.

02:55I had a French bull named Stitch.

02:56I had a parrot named Stitch.

02:57I had a French bulldog named Stitch.

02:58I had a parrot named Stitch.

02:59This is using more material.

03:01These rhinestones are more sparkly, but sometimes more sparkly, meaning more cheap.

03:07These gems look better.

03:09Some are matte.

03:10Some are sparkly.

03:11Some are sparkly.

03:12The enamel looks better on this.

03:15Y'all, I have a shopping addiction.

03:18So I'm going to say this is the cheaper one and this is the more expensive one.

03:26I'm rebuilding trust in myself.

03:28We're doing leather shorts next.

03:35Hmm.

03:36Let's see which one feel like plastic and which one feel like it was grown on an animal.

03:40Their life.

03:41This is pleather.

03:43Plastic leather.

03:44Or they try to do...

03:45It's a rebrand.

03:46They tried to rebrand pleather.

03:48These are the Don Julio Boutastic.

03:52This is the more expensive one.

03:54If I'm wrong, we'll leave.

03:59This dress is mine.

04:01This jewels is mine.

04:02This hair is mine.

04:03I like nice things, yo.

04:04I will buy these.

04:05I will look at these and be like, oh, I see budget was low on set today.

04:17Okay, digital cameras.

04:19This is...

04:20I don't like...

04:21Oh.

04:22These both look cheap.

04:24And usually you can tell by weight, but these are both made with...

04:27shillings, it feels like.

04:30I'm going to hate if I'm wrong.

04:32I'm gonna look at the lens.

04:33There's a cover on the lens.

04:35This, they just threw that together.

04:37But then I'm like, these buttons is more fun.

04:39But this is heavier.

04:40This is the more expensive one.

04:42How much do you think that went?

04:47$70.

04:48They're scamming.

04:49We have rotisserie chicken.

04:50I have rotisserie chicken on my rider.

04:51For those of you that don't know what a rider is, it's like when you go on a set, they're like, what food would you eat?

05:06And I always say rotisserie chicken because you can't ever go wrong with one.

05:10Okay, so they both got their necks sticking out.

05:12Let me look through her.

05:14Ooh.

05:15She just had a hard, cold life.

05:18I would say because this has the seasoning in it, for real, it's giving...

05:25Somebody said, put the seasoning in, love the chicken.

05:29This is very hard.

05:30Okay.

05:31Crisp test on the soggy chicken.

05:35Hmm.

05:36This one's a bit more crispy, which means they probably use some seed oil or something.

05:39Maybe.

05:40I don't know.

05:41I don't know.

05:42I'm going to eat it.

05:43It's going to taste like chicken.

05:48It tastes like cold chicken.

05:52And then this one.

05:55Girl, this got the herb bundle.

05:58I hated that.

05:59I hated that.

06:00I hated that.

06:01I hated that.

06:02I hated that.

06:03I hated that.

06:04I hated that.

06:05I felt like a warm parasite pressing my bottom lip.

06:08This is the more expensive chicken.

06:12Ah!

06:21Dates.

06:22I used to date a man.

06:23I like dates.

06:24I hate him.

06:25From my time in the insane asylum that I was dating that man, I didn't know which ones

06:29are the more expensive ones.

06:32It smelled like straight nothing.

06:35I thought I lost my ability to smell.

06:38Maybe if I open it up.

06:40See that grease in there?

06:41That's that good.

06:42I'm taking up this one.

06:44This one just feels just weak.

06:46Okay.

06:47I'll eat it.

06:51I never had no date like this.

06:53It has a crunch.

06:54Okay.

06:55These are more expensive dates.

06:59I'll eat it, babe.

07:02Ha!

07:10What is this?

07:11Grills?

07:13This is a fit to size grill.

07:16Let's see.

07:17I'm gonna try to bend the metal.

07:19Bend with the E's.

07:20Bend with the E's, but this one was a bit harder to bend.

07:25I love gold and diamonds.

07:28If I had seen this gold out, I would call it gold police.

07:31I'd say, y'all, you need to shut this down ASAP.

07:33I'm gonna say this grill is the more expensive one.

07:40Hey!

07:42Mwah!

07:44Okay.

07:45Fine.

07:46I'm human.

07:47I got a seven out of eight.

07:48I did really good.

07:49I feel like I really prioritize the quality of the things that I'm spending my life on.

07:54So that's why I do these things.

07:56I pay attention.

07:57I'm not just funny clown.

07:58I'm intentional funny clown.

08:00Thank you for watching and be sure to check out my Cosmo quiz.

08:24Bye.

08:25Bye.

08:26Bye.

08:27Bye.

08:28Bye.

08:29Bye.
